Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.3/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

The first time you heard Big Star’s first album, you picked up a guitar. A day you later you got dumped and learned how to write a song like your new idols. (Edited)
Always sounded to me as if the "Fannies" had fallen into a magic cauldron and had drunk a "perfect pop"-potion mixed by the big B's (Beatles, Byrds, Big Star). Sometimes so sweet that your teeth almost start hurting , but most of the time a delicious pleasure to listen to.

I find every second song to be good. Which is a fairly consistant album. Gets a bit boring after the 20 minute mark. (Edited)
There are few more perfect pop songs than Sparky,s Dream
A fantastic album , consistently in my top 20 since 1995 .
